Thread the cable strap up under the fender and through the appropriate fender hole. Pull up on the cable strap to hold the nut snug against the underside of the fender. b. With the rib on the retention nut seated into the notch in the appropriate fender hole, slide the retention washer (12) into place from the rear. This will lock the retention nut in place. Remove the cable strap. | |||||||||
